<p>In a first, the robot waiters have been introduced in a restaurant called Robot Cafe where they&nbsp;are carrying plates of meals on their inbuilt trays and serving them to the customers in Nairobi.</p>

<p>This is the first of its kind eatery in Nairobi and East Africa where robots are seen moving among the human waiters as mesmerised customers watch and click them while they serve food.</p>

<p>The restaurant had acquired these preprogrammed robots for the entertainment of the customers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It was very expensive to import the robots," Abbas said but added that the investment has borne fruit since the restaurant is "often busy with curious customers" who are coming to the restaurant only to experience robot service.</p>

<p>The cafe's manager said that robots cannot replace human waiters as they cannot provide all services.</p>

<p>"At no point are the robots able to fully function in all the services that are supposed to be ongoing in the restaurant without the human touch," said manager John Kariuki.</p>

<p>"The robots are actually way too expensive for us to acquire, so if you are trying to save money, it is not going to work if you choose to go the robotic way," he added.</p>

<p>A passenger was reportedly removed from a Delta Airlines flight for wearing a t-shirt depicting former president Donald Trump making an obscene gesture, accompanied by a reference to the viral Hawk Tuah girl.</p>

<h2><strong>Incident at Sarasota Bradenton airport</strong></h2>

<p>The incident unfolded on Saturday, August 31, at Sarasota Bradenton International Airport. A video shared on Reddit captured the moment the passenger was escorted off the aircraft.

<p>Weight-loss drugs are emerging as a game-changer in healthcare, with the potential of not only helping people shed pounds but also in slowing down the ageing process. This advancement could lead to longer and healthier lives for many individuals.</p>

<h2><strong>Ozempic: More than just a weight-loss drug</strong></h2>

<p>Recent studies have shown that semaglutide— commercially known as Wegovy and Ozempic, significantly reduces mortality risk in obese or overweight individuals with cardiovascular disease.</p>

<p>Originally developed to treat Type 2 diabetes and obesity, recent research shows it might do even more. Scientists now believe it could also help people live longer and healthier lives.</p>

<p>“Semaglutide has far-reaching benefits beyond what we initially imagined,” stated Prof Harlan Krumholz of the Yale School of Medicine. “It’s not just avoiding heart attacks. These are health promoters. It wouldn’t surprise me that improving people’s health this way actually slows down the ageing process.”</p>

<h2><strong>Findings from the select trial</strong></h2>

<p>The select trial in the U.S. studied over 17,600 individuals aged 45 and older who were overweight or obese and had established cardiovascular disease but not diabetes. The participants received either semaglutide or a placebo, and were tracked for more than three years.</p>

<p>Researchers found that individuals who took the drug had a lower mortality rate from various causes, including cardiovascular conditions and COVID-19. Those taking the weight-loss drug were as likely to get COVID-19 but had a lower death rate from it, with 2.6% of those on semaglutide compared to 3.1% of those on the placebo.</p>

<h2><strong>Possible side effects</strong></h2>

<p>Common side effects of Ozempic include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach pain, and constipation. Additionally, some users experience allergic reactions, breathing difficulties, rapid heartbeat, and swollen lymph nodes. Ozempic can also cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).

<p>Elon Musk has raised concerns that his social media platform, X (formerly known as Twitter), could face significant legal and operational challenges in the United States if Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris wins the upcoming presidential election in November.</p>

<p>In a public statement on X, Musk cautioned against what he views as unprecedented attacks on free speech. He said that similar threats could emerge in the US should Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, assume power.</p>

<p>"The attacks this year on free speech are unprecedented in the 21st century. It will happen in America too if Kamala/Walz gain power," Musk posted.</p>

<p>Musk’s purported concerns appear to be influenced by recent events in Brazil, where X has encountered substantial legal issues. The platform was ordered to suspend its operations in Brazil by Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The order came after Musk reportedly refused to appoint a legal representative for X in Brazil.</p>

<p>The situation escalated when threats were made against X's staff, following which the company announced on August 17 that it would shut down its office in Brazil.&nbsp;</p>

In one scene, Trump was seen removing his wig and stroking the hair in a wall of heads. In another footage, Musk was having a flame thrower and stealing a pet dog from someone's garden. Musk was also seen getting his mugshot clicked and laughing. Watch: Brazil blocks X after Musk ignores court order How netizens reacted to the deepfake video Reacting to the deepfake video, a person said, “AI satire at its finest.” “I love The Dor Brothers. Constantly pushing the envelope and really adding a strong voice to the conversation,” commented another. (With inputs from agencies)

<p>A new trend of real-life running in Cambodia’s historic Angkor Wat and other temples has gone viral, inspired by the popular video game 'Temple Run'. This has left conservationists concerned about the place.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Conservationists&nbsp;have said that such running is denigrating the almost 900-year-old sculptures and also increasing the risk of irreparable damage.</p>

<p>People have been sharing their videos of running down narrow stone pathways, with sounds from the&nbsp;Temple Run video game overlapping the video, across TikTok, Facebook, YouTube and other social media platforms.</p>

<p>Some of these videos have got more than two million views.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Conservationists not happy with people running in temples&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Expressing concern over the growing trend, conservationist Simon Warrack said that the nearly millennia-old ruins at Angkor can face potential damage and added that this also portrays cultural and religious insensitivities.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“You wouldn’t run through St Peters in Rome or any Western church, so why is it OK to do it in Cambodia?” Warrack said, as reported by the South China Morning Post.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“It’s not just potential damage to the stones by people bumping into them and falling or knocking things over – which is real – but it’s also damage to the spiritual and cultural value of the temples," he added.</p>

<p>Warrack said he has discussed the issue with Cambodian counterparts and officials who look after the complex.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Angkor Wat is still deeply revered by the people. Every stone is considered to contain the spirits of the ancestors," he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Cambodia country director of the World Monuments Fund Ginevra Boatto said, “While the trend has temporarily boosted online interest in Angkor, it’s essential to promote safe access, educational visitation, and respect for the local religious, spiritual and social significance of the sites.</p>

<p>She added that trends of the new visitors should be “carefully managed to prevent any negative impact."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hans Leisen, who once headed a German government-funded conservation project, said, “It’s nonsense. If you’re running through the temple, you will not see the beauty of the carvings. And if you fall or stumble, you’ll touch a wall to stabilise yourself and endanger the fragile carvings.”</p>

Tourists go for real-life 'Temple Run' in Cambodia’s Angkor Wat, experts express concern

<p>Almost all of us have played "rock, paper, scissors" not just as a child but as an adult too. You often use it to decide who gets the first say or sometimes simply to pass the time. But in Japan, the game is taken pretty seriously and used to reach major decisions.</p>

<p>A video is going viral on the internet showing two people playing the game to reach a huge decision about their music careers.</p>

<p>An old video from 2016 has emerged on social media showing two contestants engaged in an intense battle of "rock, paper, scissors". While it seems odd to have such a contest, the video will still leave you overwhelmed with emotions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The contestant's victory triggers an unprecedented wave of joy throughout the audience witnessing the event, making people call it the "best video on the internet". The game is known as Janken in Japan and is apparently quite a big thing in the country.</p>

<p>According to Mashable India, it was being used at an event organised by pop group AKB48 to choose the person who will appear on their next record. Tanabe Miku and Yumoto Ami were facing off against each other.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Watch the video. You can feel the stress in the nail-biting moment.</p>

<p>Humans have been trying to defy ageing for decades. One such man in Japan has been practising a shocking habit for 12 years now. Daisuke Hori claims that he only sleeps 30 minutes a day in a bid to gain more hours for training. He trains at the gym for 16 hours a week.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hori says the little sleep he gets has not had any adverse effect on his health because he has trained his brain and body to function like normal. He claims he never feels tired.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While people have been told to sleep at least eight hours at night for optimal health, Hori seems to have defied the notion.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He started cutting back on his sleep hours to add more active hours to his day. This led him to come way down to just 30-45 minutes of sleep time per day.</p>

<p>“As long as you do sports or drink coffee an hour before eating, you can stave off drowsiness,” he said.</p>

<p>He insists that the quality of sleep matters more than the hours you get. Citing the example of doctors and firefighters, Hori says they are highly efficient despite getting little rest.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"People who need sustained focus in their work benefit more from high-quality sleep than long sleep. For instance, doctors and firefighters have shorter rest periods but maintain high efficiency,” he said.</p>

<h2>Hori teaches people the art of less sleep</h2>

<p>Around eight years back, Hori started the Japan Short Sleepers Training Association. He teaches people to manage on little sleep and claims to have trained more than 2,100 students to become ultra-short sleepers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Japan’s Yomiuri TV followed him around for a reality show for three days and saw him wake up one day after just 26 minutes of sleep, fully refreshed and energised.&nbsp;</p>

<p>One of his students told the channel that she has come down from eight hours to just 90 minutes of sleep and has been doing so for the last four years. She insists the reduced rest hasn't had any negative effect on her physical or mental health, and she looks better than ever.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hori's sleep habits have triggered a debate on social media. While some people are in awe and want to learn the art of less sleep, others say that it might ultimately put pressure on the heart.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Doctors also suggest getting seven to nine hours of sleep every night to let the body and brain recover and to avoid heart disease.</p>

<p>Mango juice is one of the most commonly consumed foods in Indian households. From TV advertisements to hoardings on the road, we see mango juice commercials trying to sell this bottled mango juice container to people who want relief from the heat.</p>

<p>Now the question is asked, do these bottled juice containers use real mango to make this juice?</p>

<p>The shocking video went viral where a content creator posted a clip of the juice processing unit, which shows how these bottled juices are being made.</p>

<p>In the video, it was seen that yellow-colored liquid is being mixed with orange food coloring along with sugar syrup. Then the processed liquid is filled in canned bottles made from plastic paper. After that, they are sealed in large cartons, preparing them for supply in the market.</p>

<p>The video went viral, outraging the internet, for betraying the trusted loyal consumers of the product, who were under the illusion that these renowned brands use good and natural products for making these juice boxes.</p>

<h2>Netizens’ disappointments</h2>

<p>The comments filled with rage. One user said, “Thank goodness I kept my family away from Coke or any bottled soft drinks, fruit juices… they are over 30 and till date no Coke or packaged fruit juices come home.”</p>

<p>Another user, expressing his anger, said, “Slow poison… and the government is behind them.”</p>

Mango juice is not made from mangoes? Viral video from factory shocks netizens

<p>Have you seen a crucified minion meme lately in your social media feeds? It has become quite common on TikTok and a little bit on Instagram as well. Minions are cute little animated&nbsp;creatures we have been loving for years now. They speak an odd language, walk weirdly, look like a yellow capsule dressed up, and have different physical features, and yet have managed to capture the hearts of millions of people worldwide, especially children.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Minion memes are common, but showing a minion crucified is new. The widespread meme shows a minion dying on the cross with a thorn crown on its head. The Minion memes have apparently been strewn across social media by Christian influencers. Almost every video made with the meme has the exact same script.</p>

<p>Minions were made popular by the <em>Despicable Me</em> franchise. The influencers seem to be leveraging minions to gain the attention of the youth scrolling through social media, and then using the moment to talk about Jesus.</p>

<p>The TikToks start off the videos by claiming that the crucified Minion photo was accidentally created by an animator who was “messing around one day”. Then they tell the viewer, “a Minion didn't die for you. A Minion didn't pay the price of sin for you and me that we deserve. But Jesus did.”</p>

<p>“Jesus loves you,” they say at the end of the video.</p>

<p>Another video has a woman saying, "If you love Minions, don’t scroll." “Right above me is a picture of a minion washing another minion’s feet,” the woman named Kalkidan Radford, says. “But we both know a minion never did that. But let me tell you who did: Jesus.”</p>

<p>The videos have repetitive content and look eerie because of that. This also led commentators to wonder if the “Dead Internet Theory” was to blame for it. Some of them believe that bots were pushing the trend by creating, sharing and commenting on the videos.</p>

<h2>Who started the ‘Crucified Minion’ memes?</h2>

<p>The first post was reportedly made by TikTok pastor @pastorjoshpan, in May, and this triggered several more such memes by other users. The crucified Minion photo looks like it was made using AI, but it actually goes back a few years and owes its origin to digital artist Américo Cruz. In 2021, he posted a 3D rendering of a Minion on a cross on Facebook.</p>

<p>The Minion memes are now attracting satirical responses in the form of videos and comments. TikTokers are also mocking videos explaining the memes, with several of them using phrases such as “a Minion didn’t die for you", from the original video to make fun of them.</p>

<p>Right now, the trend seems like a whole Generative AI project, with chatbots filling up the feeds. However, the simple explanation seems to be that Christian influences are using Minions to get people interested in their content.&nbsp;<br />

<p>Have you wondered what the "o" in "o'clock" means? A woman on Threads did and she put out her query, leaving other users stumped. But there were a few who knew the answer and so now, we also finally know.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The history of its use goes pretty far back and has an absolutely logical reason.</p>

<p>A user by the name @jenny_nuel1, who describes herself as a fashion designer on Threads, asked her followers if anyone knows what the “o” actually stands for. “What’s the meaning of ‘O’ in o’clock???” she wrote.</p>

<p>The question triggered a wave of replies, but most of them were incorrect. People wrote that the "o" stands for &nbsp;“zero,” “oida” ( meaning “old person” in Viennese), “Omega” and more.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, some users dug out the real meaning and wrote that it meant "of" the clock. So when we say the time, for eg. 9 o'clock, it actually means, "of the clock".</p>

<p>Turns out, this is exactly what it stands for. The explanation?</p>

<p>A user wrote, "At the invention of the clock, many people used the sundial, so to make the distinction, many people using the clock would state it’s ‘of the clock.'"</p>

<p>Curious netizens were interested by now and some of them wanted to know more, especially its origin.</p>

<p>Another user, John Brown, with the user name @johnbrown2812 on Threads, backed the first user's explanation. “The phrase ‘o’clock’ is a contraction of ‘of the clock,’ which was historically used to specify the time according to the clock,” he wrote.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Giving an example, the user wrote, "it’s 3 o’clock’ originally meant ‘it is 3 of the clock.’ Over time, ‘of the’ was shortened to just ‘O,’ leading to the phrase we commonly use today.”</p>

<p>The use of apostrophe&nbsp;in the "o'" also has a reason. According to Britannica, since it is an abbreviated form of "of the clock", the apostrophe is used.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"An apostrophe is used in o’clock because the word is a contraction of the phrase ‘of the clock,'" the dictionary mentions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sundials were used to tell the time for years. The shadow made by the sun on the dial reflected what time it was.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Breaking down other words</h2>

<p>Merriam-Webster describes it as "according to the clock" and "used for indicating position or direction as if on a clock dial".</p>

<p>Other words that were earlier shortened include "OK" and "OW". Merriam-Webster says the words were a shortened form of regular words "all correct" and "all right".&nbsp;</p>

<p>Humorists in the 1820s and 1830s used odd misspellings of popular phrases. “‘All right’ became ‘O.W.,’ as an abbreviation for ‘oll wright.’ And ‘all correct’ became o.k., as an abbreviation for ‘oll correct,'” Merriam-Webster explained.</p>

<p>A&nbsp;woman from the Indian city of Hyderabad&nbsp;recently accused the Swiggy delivery boy of stealing the laptop and demanding a ransom of&nbsp;$178.91 (₹15,000) to return it.</p>

<p>Nishitha Gudipudi, a&nbsp;civil engineer&nbsp;shared the details of the bizarre incident on her LinkedIn account. She explained that her husband booked a Swiggy Genie agent a few days ago&nbsp;to deliver his backpack from the office to another one located&nbsp;in&nbsp;the Madhapur area.</p>

<p>The delivery boy collected the backpack, and in the middle of the delivery, he switched off his phone, Gudipudi said.</p>

<p>“He basically stole the laptop, and initially, we thought, okay, partially error at our end too to use Genie to deliver the laptop, but how things took a turn after is what really surprised and scared us,” she added.</p>

<p>The LinkedIn post stated that when her husband tried to approach customer care, they also failed to locate the driver and the identity&nbsp;of the delivery agent. They sent two pictures asking the couple to identify which one&nbsp;came to pick up the bag.</p>

<p>Swiggy's customer care executives weren’t able to detect the identity of the agent as their&nbsp;system registers the Aadhar card or PAN card and lets anyone use those credentials.</p>

<p>One of the most shocking parts, according to Gudipudi, was that when they tried contacting the agent through WhatsApp, the delivery executive said, “I will check and let you know as my friend logged in from my identity.”</p>

<p>In the LinkedIn post, Gudipudi shared screenshots of the conversation that took place between her and the alleged thief on WhatsApp where he demanded the money. She also shared a picture of the man’s ID.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Swiggy&nbsp;has not responded&nbsp;to this incident yet.</p>

<p>In the comment section, one of the users said, "Crime - understood but was is it really reasonable and sensible on part of the person who decided to use a B2C service to handle movement of a backpack with company laptop /Assets in it? I think it was very casual on part of the gentleman who thought it is a good idea. Also, any package must be properly sealed for transfer irrespective of any service provider getting involved. The Swiggy person involved is most certainly wrong but decisions need to be reviewed too that led to this crime".&nbsp;</p>

<p>Another user, blaming the victim, said,&nbsp;"Good lesson learnt. To those asking why something as expensive as laptop was sent? This is a common situation, where the husband might have forgotten to take it home and in cities like Bangalore where it takes one hour to reach 5kms in peak traffic conditions, making a back and forth trip would consume half a day of an employee".<br />

<p>A video of a man driving recklessly on a busy road in Delhi NCR and&nbsp;allegedly hitting a motorcycle while doing so has been making rounds on&nbsp;the internet. The driver in question is a fitness influencer called Rajat Dalal who was caught overspeeding on camera and not stopping when he hit a motorcyclist even as his co-passenger&nbsp;asked him to slow down.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The video has been shared by activist Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj on X and shows Dalal driving dangerously at around 140 km/h, while his co-passengers can be heard asking him to slow down. However, Dalal kept driving recklessly on the busy road before allegedly ramming a motorcycle.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"<em>Wo gir gaya, koi baat nahi. Roz ka yahi kaam hai ma'am</em> (There's no big deal if he fell. This is a daily thing, ma'am)," he is heard saying in the video to his co-passenger after allegedly hitting the biker.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Habitual Offender #RajatDalalPsycho hits a biker while driving at a speed of 143Kmph on a busy inner city highway," Bhardwaj wrote on X.&nbsp;</p>

A video of a man driving recklessly on a busy road in Delhi NCR and allegedly hitting a motorcycle while doing so has been making rounds on the internet. The driver in question is a fitness influencer called Rajat Dalal who was caught overspeeding on camera and not stopping when he hit a motorcyclist even as his co-passenger asked him to slow down. The video has been shared by activist Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj on X and shows Dalal driving dangerously at around 140 km/h, while his co-passengers can be heard asking him to slow down. However, Dalal kept driving recklessly on the busy road before allegedly ramming a motorcycle. "Wo gir gaya, koi baat nahi. Roz ka yahi kaam hai ma'am (There's no big deal if he fell. This is a daily thing, ma'am)," he is heard saying in the video to his co-passenger after allegedly hitting the biker. "Habitual Offender #RajatDalalPsycho hits a biker while driving at a speed of 143Kmph on a busy inner city highway," Bhardwaj wrote on X. "GIR GAYA KOI BAAT NAHI.

Influencer over speeds, hits a biker, drives past saying 'No big deal': Watch

<p>Finding celebrities on dating apps is exciting. So when fans found Brazilian Olympic gymnast Flavia Saraiva on Tinder, they were thrilled. She recently won a bronze medal in the team event at the 2024 Paris Olympics. This helped her team finish third in the women's artistic team all-around event.</p>

<p>She made headlines for performing with a black eye after getting injured during warm-ups for the final. Flavia fell on the uneven bars and got a cut above her eye and performed with a bandage over her eyebrow.</p>

<p>Her Tinder profile is written in Portuguese and says that she is looking for “nothing serious, but it depends", reported The Sun.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tinder, like any other dating app, also requires one to describe themselves in the best possible way. So how would a world-class gymnast describe herself that would attract a date? Being an Olympic medallist should ideally be enough.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Flavia's profile reads, "An artistic gymnastics athlete, Olympic and world medalist" while adding, "tanned" and a "good person".</p>

<p>Flavia being on Tinder has created a buzz on social media. Fans are happy and a little curious, while others rued how it is going to get harder for them to attract a date. &nbsp;</p>

<p>People wondered why she was on a dating app, with some saying she was "crazy" to join it. Maybe it is because she is "too busy competing and training to meet anyone", some of them said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Others said they would upgrade their plans to match with Flavia.&nbsp;</p>

<p>One of the posts read, "What can we say about mere mortals who use more than 3 or 4 dating apps at the same time and still haven't found anyone?"</p>

<h2>Other popular athletes on social media</h2>

<p>Paris Olympics brought to the fore several other female athletes who have quite a following on social media. One of them was Paraguayan swimmer Luana Alonso who was reportedly asked to leave the Games because of her "inappropriate" behaviour and for dressing in skimpy outfits in the village.</p>

<p>Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/worlds-sexiest-athlete-alica-schmidt-goes-viral-amid-hook-up-claims-heres-the-truth-749642">World's sexiest athlete Alica Schmidt goes viral amid 'hook-up' claims. Here's the truth</a></p>

<p>Luana was accused of distracting athletes of other nations by socialising with them while dressed in revealing outfits. She also got into trouble for leaving the village for a personal visit to Disneyland. However, she slammed all such reports and said that she was not kicked out of the athletes' village.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Luana took to Instagram and said, "I just wanted to clarify that I was never kicked out or expelled from anywhere, please stop spreading false information. I don't want to make any statement but I'm not going to let lies affect me either."</p>

<p>She announced retirement soon after.</p>

<p>German athlete Alica Schmidt has been dubbed as the world's most beautiful athlete and has over 5.6 million followers on Instagram. Alica is also a successful model and a social media influencer. She was a part of the German athletics team which finished 7th in the women’s 4x400m relay event and failed to qualify for the final.&nbsp;</p>

'Selling samosas won’t define my future': Noida samosa seller cracks NEET UG at the age of 18

<p>Siblings are the individuals who influence our lives and even define our lifelines. To compete with siblings in games and sports is often part of growing up.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But for David Rush in the United States, the rivalry with his siblings has meant something else. Rush holds 180 concurrent Guinness World Records and that has to do with sibling rivalry.</p>

<p>In an interview with the Washington Post published Monday, Rush, who makes his living giving motivational talks, recounted how he frequently came in second or third when competing against his two older brothers in football, table tennis and swimming while growing up in Boise, Idaho.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But in a swimming race with one of his siblings, he finally turned the tables. That ignited in him a competitive streak that he keeps alive these days by staking a claim as the globe's most prolific Guinness World Record setter.</p>

Sibling rivalry pushes US man to hold 180 Guinness world records

<p>Diners at a London eatery got the fright of their lives when a piece of boulder fell from the building just inches away from them. The huge chunk of masonry tore apart from the building due to a gust of wind and crashed near the chairs, leaving a big dent in the pavement, Daily Mail reported.</p>

<p>The incident happened at the Ottomenzo Cafe, in Kensington, where a woman ditched the piece of stone by mere millimetres which went crashing into her chair. People present at the scene said that the crash felt "like an earthquake".</p>

<p>The woman who survived the crash was there to meet a friend and after the incident just stood there for an hour. A dog nearby was left covered in dust and the boulder left a crater on the stone slabs below. The restaurant staff told Emma Baxter-Wright to vacate the table fearing more stones might fall down.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Fire engines rushed to the scene and the firefighters were left stunned to see the massive boulder on the ground and dust all around. They closed off the area to avoid any untoward incident from happening.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Eatery owner says he was shocked</h2>

<p>Francesco Cicoria, the 58-year-old owner of the cafe was also shocked to see the piece of masonry on the ground. A gaping hole was left at the place in the building where the boulder was initially attached.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He told Daily Mail that nothing of the sort was expected to happen. "I didn't expect it - there was no sign of it. It just came from above. It was unexpected. A shock," he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Now, you're looking up watching out every time you walk. He said it's very rare it happens. One in a million," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He recalls how he was occupying the same table 20 minutes back and vacated it for the customer. "I was sitting there 20 minutes before it. I was lucky the lady came and she wanted a table so I stood up. But if I hadn't otherwise... It's scary stuff," Cicoria said.</p>

<p>A woman whose dog, Bingo, was covered in dust, told the publication that had Emma's chair been inches to the left, she would have died. "If it had been a foot over she'd have been dead, for sure. You can see the hole in the pavement. It's not ideal," Coco Cottam said.</p>

<p>Another woman who was visiting her aunt who works at the cafe, said that the incident made her fearful of sitting outside. "It was like an earthquake. I was like - every day in London, things like this happen?" Tosia said.&nbsp;<br />

<p>A French museum is inviting people to view the works of art naked. The museum in Marseille, a city in France, is exhibiting nudes depicting the history of naturism in Europe and wants people to connect with them without any clothes, except for shoes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Mucem opens its doors once a month to people who can view the pieces of art nude and shoes are a necessity "to avoid splinters", head of France's FFN naturist organisation Eric Stefanut told AFP.</p>

<p>Nude visits to the museum are conducted for the Naturist Paradises exhibition and happen in partnership with the French Naturist Federation. The museum remains closed one evening every month and the nude visits happen at this time.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The exhibition includes various pieces of art, including photographs, films, paintings, magazines, sculptures and more. These are gathered from naturist communities and the public and private collections in France and Switzerland. This includes the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Louvre, and the Swiss National Library in Bern.</p>

<p>The French exhibition was a culture shock for some visitors. Two of them visiting from England were amazed to see how liberated attitudes towards nudity were here. Kieren Parker-Hall and Xander Parry, who wandered the museum without any clothes, told AFP that it was a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" for them as England is not as open to naturist stuff.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The situation turned extremely weird for a couple after they accidentally hit the gear stick and placed it in the back gear because of which the car plunged into the Philadelphia River while they were having sex in the backseat.</p>

<p>The couple were getting intimate in the backseat of a 2020 Range Rover around 4:15 am (local time) on Wednesday (Aug&nbsp;28) near the Schuylkill River in Fairmount Park when one of their limbs bumped into the gear stick of the SUV, stated the police while speaking to NBC10.</p>

<h2><strong>Couple escapes unhurt&nbsp;and faces no charges</strong></h2>
